Yi Rui woke up and found herself lying on a big soft bed.
Her head was a little dizzy, and what she could see was some ambiguous lights, and a figure standing by the window, looking into the distance.
'This... seems to be a high-end love hotel?'
'I...why am I here?'
Fortunately, Yi Rui was a mysterious person and didn't scream like a girl. She just looked around and herself quickly.
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I found that my clothes were still in good condition.
Immediately, she recalled it again.
She thought of the mysterious gathering, and her mind began to find ideas to connect what happened one by one.
'I saw the gentleman who saved me, and then I was attacked by ghouls?'
'No, no...'Glutton' has the ability to create hallucinations. Maybe everything I see is just an illusion...My current situation is still very dangerous...'
"you're awake!"
Fang Xian turned around and looked at Yi Rui: "Just wake up. There should be a police officer coming to investigate later. Is there no problem with your identity?"
"No...no!"
Yi Rui pulled the quilt to cover her chest and hesitated: "Thank you for saving me again, sir! I am Yi Rui from the Negus family, and I will repay you."
Now, she was probably sure that this was not an illusion.
"My name is Laye Raphael!"
Fang Xian unceremoniously used the false identity he had just obtained: "It's just a small effort to save you, so you don't have to be polite. But if you really want to thank me, give me the complete inheritance of the 'Warlock's Tower', or
For relevant clues, we must determine the channels through which we can obtain it..."
Yi Rui choked immediately.
How could this top-notch mystical knowledge be accessible to her as a mere apprentice?
Even her family may not be able to have it.
But the other party saved her, twice!
Yi Rui almost cried.
She gritted her teeth, silently held back her tears, and thought carefully: "Most of the 'Warlock Towers' are in the hands of nobles with a long history. It is indeed easier to obtain them in the Narnia Empire than elsewhere... I probably know a few
The family has this inheritance, but..."
How could an ordinary outsider obtain such top-level mysterious knowledge?
Even if you are willing to sign a deed of sale, it still depends on whether the other party is willing to accept it.
"Then...I'm going to go to the Narnias Empire, and you can be my tour guide."
Fang Xian clapped his hands.
At this time, a violent slapping sound suddenly came from the door: "Sheriff, check!"
"Okay, get up and prepare to deal with the Sheriff. Remember that you are the 'prey' I captured today. We just met and you drank too much..." Fang Xian lowered his voice and went to open the door.
Outside the door, a police officer looked in. When he saw Yi Rui, a flash of surprise flashed across his face, and he immediately gave Fang Xian an envious look.
…
night.
The night in Delan City looks a little hazy tonight.
A bright moon in the sky bloomed with lavender brilliance.
In the city center, on the square in front of the Sheriff's Office, rows of Sheriffs stood solemnly, with Jax, Red, Tabor and other special agents at the front.
At this time, they all looked with admiration and excitement, looking at the figure of a middle-aged man in black uniform directly in front of him.
This middle-aged man has a tall build, blue eyes, and a face as firm as granite. He also has a silver badge on his chest, which means that he has received awards from the king.
This is a [Silver of Order] level powerhouse and a high-ranking member of the special department—Otis Guinir!
He looked at the full moon in the sky and said to himself: "In the purple moonlight, has the 'King's Feast' ceremony finally reached its peak? A 'Glutton' died during the day, and I can't bear it anymore?"
Click!
Bang!
Behind him, there was a square iron cage covered with canvas. There seemed to be a beast inside, which was constantly attacking the fence, looking extremely violent.
Otis calmly took off the glove on his right hand.
Under the moonlight, his right hand actually reflected light, and the traces of silver metal veins on it seemed to have been completely integrated with flesh and blood.
At this time, with the gentle movement of Otis's fingers, the canvas of the iron cage behind him was opened, revealing the body of one of the 'Gluttons'.
It has completely transformed into a 'ghoul' form, with silver chains on its neck and limbs, and its eyes are red, full of madness and desire to attack.
Moreover, it seems to have limited spell-like abilities, and even ordinary people can look directly at it.
"'The King's Feast', Kingdom researchers have analyzed this ritual. Currently, this is just a simplified version. In the end, many third-stage 'Gluttons' will sense each other's existence and start killing and devouring. Only those who survive can
Only the final winner is qualified to open the Silver Gate..."
Otis continued to move his fingers, opened the steel cage, and released the 'Glutton'.
Click!
Click!
The restraining silver chains on the opponent's limbs were entangled like snakes, and they were released one by one, allowing the 'Glutton' to regain his freedom.
"Jie Jie!"
It let out a strange cry and rushed towards the nearest living person.
"Be quiet!"
At this moment, Otis scolded him dissatisfiedly, and the silver collar around the neck of the 'Glutton' glowed, completely suppressing its actions.
Moreover, a chain emerged from the air and connected to Otis's right hand.
From a distance, it looks like he is leading a big dog.
"Next... I will completely suppress its intelligence, leaving it with only instinct to pursue the high-level ghouls in and around the city center!"
Otis gripped the chain.
The 'Glutton' let out a roar and rushed out like a sharp arrow.
However, no matter how far it ran, the silver chain was still grasped in Otis's hand, as if there was no limit to its length.
…
Inside the Laurel Inn.
"Speaking of which... this 'King's Feast' ceremony is not perfect. There are too many things that can be exploited..."
After listening to Yi Rui's detailed account, Fang Xian pondered: "Why did those group of ghouls choose this place? After all, the Castle Kingdom is still one of the three most powerful countries in the mainland. Their brains should not have been eaten..."
"Who knows? But...this group of cultists must have been influenced by some existence when they did this...it is indeed too crazy."
Yi Rui said with a wry smile after sending the Sheriff away.
boom!
At this moment, a gunshot rang out nearby.
"The purple moon represents the peak of the ceremony...the special department has also begun to take action." She was not surprised to see this scene and murmured to herself.
"Then, I'll take the opportunity to act. Follow the plan and wait for me at the train station early tomorrow morning!"
Fang Xian's figure slowly faded away, blending into the surrounding colors like a chameleon.
He had just heard a piece of news from Yi Rui. In this city, there were important members of the Miller family, the same two who had previously presided over the acquisition of the Roland family!
